IPA Based Curriculum Design for Chinese Mandarin Language Assessment

from $590.00

Course Description

Integrated performance-based assessments are a key component of any proficiency-based program. This course will give an overview of various assessments, provide a step-by-step process to design a Mandarin curriculum based on integrated performance assessments, and share resources including rubrics, templates, authentic resources, and sample assessments to empower attendees to develop their own curriculum. This course is conducted in Chinese.

Course Rationale 

Integrated performance-based learning and assessment is a system that allows students to use their higher-order thinking in real-world scenarios. This learning and assessment system helps educators to see what students are able to do and measure the levels of student understanding and proficiency so teachers can provide instructions to adjust students’ learning experience.

Course Objectives 

By the end of this course, participants will have the opportunity to: 

  1. Assess the abilities of students in all three modes of communication more effectively using real-world tasks.

  2. Help students make progress toward the Intermediate or Advanced proficiency levels as defined in the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines.

  3. Plan and implement one or more new strategies to increase students’ language production in all three communication modes.

  4. Assess the interpretive mode via culturally authentic resources and reflect on how to make them relevant for different students.

  5. Identify the characteristics of effective performance tasks, and the use of rubrics for providing feedback that will improve student performance.

  6. Implement “teaching grammar in context” in your curriculum.

  7. Use backward design to create or adjust to a Standards-Based Integrated Performance Assessment Unit 

  8. Required Textbook
